Is the mainstream media irreparably broken in 2019? President Trump seems to think so.
The Commander in Chief went on a wild Twitter rant Sunday, lambasting one of his favorite targets: The infotainment industry.
While this alone isn’t terribly surprising, his recent criticisms of Fox News have more than a few eyebrows raised – especially with the President looking forward to hold a White House summit on Thursday to address the issue of conservative censorship in the media.
Watching @FoxNews weekend anchors is worse than watching low ratings Fake News @CNN, or Lyin’ Brian Williams (remember when he totally fabricated a War Story trying to make himself into a hero, & got fired. A very dishonest journalist!) and the crew of degenerate……

The lashing out against the mainstream comes just days ahead of the President’s White House summit on conservative censorship on the world wide web.
President Donald Trump is hosting conservative social media personalities at a White House summit on July 11 to air their grievances about Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
What’s unclear is whether big tech will have any representatives in the room. The summit will focus on “opportunities and challenges of today’s online environment,” according to the White House.
The White House has also invited representatives from the Heritage Foundation, and the Media Research Center, a conservative media watchdog. The Media Research Center has previously called on the Justice Department to investigate Facebook, Google, and Twitter.
There have been major concerns in recent months regarding Big Tech’s unwillingness to allow conservative viewpoints to receive equal opportunity online – a form of censorship that even Google executives have admitted to utilizing in order to sway the 2020 US election.
